Curriculum Vitae - EDWARD DOUGLAS BEESLEY I am currently contracted through Swift WR to Chevron, Qiqiao D & C Supply Base, Chuandongbei Gas Project, China, appointed in the position of Drilling and Completions Supply Base Manager. Prior to this I was Logistics Planner, Chevron, Malongo Base, Angola, and before that, Senior Drilling Logistics Coordinator, offshore, and worked in this position for the past 6+ years and dealt with all logistical and shipping aspects of materials and personnel planning for each project, which included New-drills, Sidetracks, Workovers, Completions, Fracs, etc. Working mainly from the Drilling Programs and Procedures for each Well, my position was very much an autonomous one and I sought clarification on issues from the Drilling Team Leader and Engineers when necessary. I have just started in China after being in Angola for 7 ½ years. I am currently enrolled for the Masters Degree in Transportation and Logistics Management with the American Public University System, and have completed 7 out of 12 subjects, GPA currently just over 3.9. I've been working rotations for the past 8+ years.
